It's normal to experience some blurry vision immediately after LASIK surgery, but your vision should start to improve within a few hours and continue getting clearer over the next few days to a week.
Here's a breakdown of the typical timeline:
- Immediately after surgery: You'll likely have blurry vision and some discomfort. This is normal and will gradually subside.
- Within a few hours: Your vision should begin to improve, and you may be able to see well enough to read or watch TV.
- Within a few days: Your vision will continue to improve, and you may experience fewer fluctuations in your vision.
- Within a week: Your vision should be close to your final visual acuity, but it may take a few weeks for your eyes to fully adjust to the new vision.
Important Note: It's crucial to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully. They will provide you with eye drops to use and recommend a schedule for follow-up appointments.
Remember, individual experiences can vary. Some people may experience clearer vision sooner, while others may take longer. Don't hesitate to contact your surgeon if you have any concerns about your vision after LASIK surgery.
